Bottle Crow Reborn

Given that I was on painkillers for this recording, editing it was a journey of "huh I don't remember any of this. Did I say that? Ok." And I didn't say anything too wild. This was in fact a very tame episode. But it's a strange feeling. Join the  Bottle Crow Discord  to check out our live posted show notes as well as chat with us and other listeners!

Motorslice fans please don't talk to me, please get away from me. It's time for the debut of Games Critic Nick as he gets surprisingly worked up about a bad, semi-horny semi-action game voiced by the lady you all know and love from Kramer Hentai Adventure 2 . I don't know what to tell you, gang. Join the  Bottle Crow Discord  to check out our live posted show notes as well as chat with us and othe...

There was no such thing as a small town on a Forge World like Novus Jersey, but The Boss's hometown was as close as you could find. Still, between the massive factoriums and their choking clouds of black smoke, the sky was a rare sight, even on the least dense place on the planet. But on the rare moments where Buce "The Bross" Spingsteen saw past the smog, the stars beyond seemed endless. But toda...

Well, Nick was a very good sport about trying to guess all the pokemon. It's only fair if I do the same. Warning- mine takes longer, and is MUCH more boring. Great podcast to fall asleep to.

Now, podcaster! ENJOYYYYYY THE MOON! Beer, peeps, mochi, a flight of M&M's. Which are possessive? That's weird, huh. The latest from amateur Dota 2 team 6reg Se7en! And of course, Nick proving his worth in a deadly game of... naming pokemon. We've got it all this week.

There's a part of me that's surprised we still do these. Should we do them for Deadlock? Idk, I just had that thought, I'll run it by Nick. Facets are dead, Tinker is... interesting, Meepo changes are NUTTY, idk gang we'll see how this patch shapes out in play! I mean. ~I~ won't. But you know. Probably someone.

Sorry, Nick's cat: I tried to think of another good title, but this is all I had. Blame your misfortune on the circumstances of your birth.

Some might say with a name like "EternalEnvy" we should have anticipated ways in which he might become someone we didn't want to hitch our wagon to. That maybe him turning into a greedy and craven day trader was less of a transformation and more of a revealing one's true colors. We may never know the truth, especially because we're about to stop paying attention to him entirely. But whatever the c...

I will never doubt Emma again. ...I will doubt Emma again. I wonder if she's ever had giardiniera. Do you think she's Chicagoan? Or Italian? I mean she sounds American, but, I can't narrow down more than that. I do feel Midwest, because the Midwest is generally a pretty neutral accent. And maybe I shouldn't be guessing at all- Emma doesn't want to be found. And I will respect that. Join the  Bottl...

A little holiday cheer goes a bit... too far as we pod for almost two and a half hours. Inside, there are celebrations, there's a little despair, there's Hot, Haz, and Claus, and maybe, just maybe... a little hope. Nah I'm kidding, no hope here. Not our brand.

This guitar-playing hero has to play Guitar Hero to power his ult! The Note Highway is open to all those whose hearts move to the beat. And for everyone else, there are some truly daring new hats, the beginning of the end of facets, minor hero reworks, and HELM OF THE UNDYING IS DEAD! TONIGHT WE CELEBRATE!

OR: White Fuge Balmore It would be a shame to waste a pretty fantastic title, so I put it there, even though the Thankful Episode doesn't get a specific title like that. Y'know, if you add a comma, it could be like... a rare spawn in Final Fantasy XI. "White Fuge, Balmore <Templar Knights>" should i play more FFXI? on the one hand, it was kinda impenetrable. but it was also kinda sick. but i do...

All worlds are secret, because all men are brothers. Hey, Lesotho's a lot bigger than I thought, y'know? Another dumb American moment I'm afraid, wish I was better than that but here we are. At least I'm not putting ginger ale in beef stock like that's something I should put in my body. That would be an absurd thing to do.

Why is it that the Oreos are the ones in pieces? I thought Reese's had the pieces. Well, what can you do I suppose. You wanna know something funny? After that conversation about how neither of us really care about Hollow Knight Silksong , I was convinced (pretty easily) to give it another shot and I've turned around on it. Cool game. People losing their minds over it are still confusing to me, but...

August the 13th be with you- and also with you. Y'know, we were supposed to talk about that new lil f- can I curse in here? I don't think I can, I think since this is on like iTunes and any kid could see it, I can't cuss in the description. Well the new lil GUY they added to Dota 2. And we completely forgot. And then I was gonna record a drop-in about it. And I completely forgot. And I'm rememberi...

Unfortunately, I'm now wary about trying those energy drink jellies. Like. If this is how the pudding one turned out, why would I do that again voluntarily? I could try CC Lemon. Or Vita C. Or hell, just drink more brands of milk tea and go "yep this is good" every time. Honest, if they sold 12 packs of milk tea like it was soda, I'd kick my soda habit no problem. Now, is premade milk tea BETTER f...

Well, it's been a long road getting here. It's been, in fact, a lot more than 200 episodes, thanks to our stupid naming conventions. But regardless- here we are. Whatever the real number is, we're calling this episode 200. It's time to settle old scores.

What happened once might maybe happen twice. It did in this case at least. Taco Bell held a press event last year, and they did it again. We covered it then, so we're doing it again. Really all there is to it. How many months til those fuckin crunchwraps they announced at the last one actually show up for humans to eat?

God, it's been so long. How does this go again? "They put out a huge patch for Dota 2 and we talked about it for over two hours." God, the last Patch Notes Special was nine months ago. But seriously: they flooded the map! They added crafting (kind of)! They redid a ton of Facets! And perhaps most importantly of all... ....Windranger is back?!?!

I cannot promise you that episode 200 is real, or ever will be. What I can tell you is, we have a plan. We're gonna go into the past. We're gonna tackle... well. For those with long memories and a long history with us (ahem, no one), let's say this... we once tried to record a certain podcast, and failed. It devolved into shouting. It was unpublishable. We're gonna try again. But that's ep 200, on...

The danger at this point is if I try to invent fictional Taco Bell items to deceive Nick, it'll turn out some of them are real. We've all noticed the rotating roster of Taco Bell ingredients. Beans, cheese, tortilla, beef, chips, nacho cheese, sour cream... the Invoker of the Bell has already whipped together so, so many spells. Independent invention is just a nice phrase for "wasted everyone's ti...
